Eastern Michigan University’s Board of Regents met Thursday to revise several school policies and establish the presidential search and search advisory committees.
The board revised some campus policies, including restrictions on alcohol near underage students. They also celebrated the 75th anniversary of Xi Chapter of the historically African American Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
Regent Nathan Ford then proposed forming committees for the upcoming presidential search.
“President James Smith is retiring from this position effective June 30th, 2026, and it is therefore necessary to conduct a search for the next president of the university.”
The meeting began with State Representative Jimmie Wilson Jr. presenting EMU President Dr. James Smith with a resolution from the Michigan State Senate and a tribute from the state of Michigan honoring EMU’s 175th anniversary.
